Georgino Wijnaldum (PSV, 22)
Background
Wijnaldum was developed by Feyenoord but had to be sold to PSV in the grip of financial catastrophe.
Position
Wijnaldum is best as a number 10 or second striker although can play out wide if needed.
Strengths
Wijnaldum poses constant danger of scoring or making a goal. This season, he has scored 26 in 52 games in all competitions, a rate that most strikers would be proud of. He is a pure technician when striking the ball which means he can score in a variety of ways, including long range. Not only can he strike a ball amazingly, he has great nous for getting in to dangerous areas and making danger. He does all of this at extreme speed which is unusual for his positional profile. He’s not the common slower technical 10, he does it all quickly which adds even more threat. Capable as a direct dribbler.
Trending
Weaknesses
Not the hardest worker and can be a bit patchy with form but if he works hard he can correct that.
The next: Wesley Sneijder
Although quicker than Sneijder, Wijnaldum shares many similar attributes. Sneijder has always scored goals at an excellent rate and is one of the best technicians in the world. They both make menace when in and around the opposition penalty area.
